Abstract:In this article, a novel design method for extending the output back‐off (OBO) range of the Doherty power amplifier (DPA) is proposed. The influence of the power ratio of the peaking and carrier power amplifier on the bandwidth of the DPA is analyzed in detail. With the proposed theory, the simplified estimation of the bandwidth of the DPA for a specific OBO range can be carried out. A broadband high‐efficiency DPA working from 1.8 to 2.6 GHz (33% relative bandwidth) with 9 dB OBO level is designed to verify t… Show more
